PHOENIX — Authorities have arrested a Scottsdale woman in connection with the death of her elderly husband, whose body was found in northern Arizona last month.
Marie Carmen Rudd, 70, was arrested this week on suspicion of second-degree murder, Coconino County Sheriff's officials said Friday.
Investigators did not say what led her to be a suspect.
The sheriff's office responded May 20 to a report of a body lying along a road west of Forest Lakes. The body of 94-year-old William Max Rudd was found with severe trauma and no identification.
His death was determined to be a homicide.
Marie Rudd is currently being held in Maricopa County jail on $500,000 cash bond.
It was not immediately known if she had an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
